He continued, “A robin flew in. I felt something. That robin’s here to see me. We chilled for a bit.

“Yeah, I was thinking that robin came with a message and all that message is is everything’s going to be OK.”

Naughty Boy, who’s real name is Shahid Khan, spoke about his religion in an episode of ITV’s “Young, British and Muslim”.

“No one could judge [Naughty Boy] based on his colour, or his ethnicity or even religion because when you hear music it's colourless, it's a colour that everyone in the world understands,” he explained.

He added, “I'm so much more comfortable now to talk about being proud of being Pakistani, being proud of being Muslim because I've got a CV - those songs were given without me trying to sell my skin colour.”

It was just earlier this week when the show had similar accusations after it was reported that the stars had been receiving luxury items in secret, despite it being claimed that this year's series was the toughest yet.

Despite Emmerdale actor Danny Miller complaining that the castle was so cold it had "icicles" coming out of the shower, a source said, “The castle itself is really cold, but the shower does get warm enough to be more than comfortable to wash in.

“There are certainly no icicles forming on the shower head as mentioned. Bosses can flick the hot water on in a second, just like your average punter can with their boiler at home.”
